Time to Relax and Recharge. Unlocking the Mental Health Benefits of Nature Summer invites us to step outdoors, soak up the sun, and connect with the natural world.   Here’s why spending time outdoors matters: 1. Improved Mood: Sunlight triggers the release of serotonin, the “feel-good” hormone. It lifts our spirits and enhances our overall well-being. 2. Reduced Anxiety: Nature provides a calming environment, reducing stress and anxiety levels. 3. Enhanced Cognition and Memory: Fresh air and green spaces boost cognitive function and memory retention.   Now, let’s embrace summer! Canadian Living (May 2024) suggests activities that can make summer meaningful such as: Try New Restaurants: Explore culinary adventures in your neighbourhood. Read a Classic: Dive into timeless literature. Observe Birds: Connect with wildlife. Plant Seeds: Cultivate a garden—flowers or veggies! Learn a New Hobby: Expand your horizons. Watch the Sunrise: Witness nature’s beauty. Explore History: Discover heritage places in your local community. Hit the Beach: Sand, waves, and relaxation. Learn a new Board Game: Fun with family and friends. Stargaze: Marvel at the night sky. Volunteer: Give back to your community. Pack a Picnic: Enjoy alfresco dining. Go Camping: Nature immersion. Attend a Fun Fair: Celebrate local culture.   Relaxation and recharge are essential.

What is your value proposition?   Your value proposition is a unique set of benefits that you bring to the workplace. Why does your value proposition matter? In today’s competitive job market, as a candidate knowing your value proposition is crucial. Your value proposition sets you apart from other applicants. Completing an online employment assessment will give insight into your unique value proposition. This self-awareness helps you articulate your skills, experiences, and attributes effectively. Knowing your value proposition enables you to align with a company’s needs and culture.  It goes beyond your resume; it’s about how you can contribute to growth and success. Armed with a well-defined value proposition, you’ll confidently address interview questions, emphasizing innovation, dedication, and positive impact.     To help develop your value proposition, Peter Urs Bender’s “Leadership from Within” listed five key steps for personal and professional leadership. These steps can also apply to understanding and developing your value proposition. They are:    1) Know Yourself – what sets you apart 2) Have a Vision and Passion – how can you contribute meaningfully 3) Take Risks – be open to new experiences 4) Communicate – articulate your value proposition 5) Check Progress and Results - regularly assess how your value proposition aligns with your career journey     At Oakdale Consulting we specialize in helping candidates to move forward by developing their unique value proposition. Contact Elaine Daniels at recruiting@oakdaleconsulting.ca and let’s set you up for success.

Unveiling the Art of Candidate Evaluation: Using an Assessment Tool to Make Informed Hiring Decisions   Employers deploy an array of assessments to unravel the tapestry of a candidate's potential.   Cognitive Ability Tests delve into the intellectual prowess of candidates, probing their problem-solving capacities, critical thinking acumen, and decision-making skills. By gauging cognitive abilities, employers gain insights into how candidates approach challenges, enhancing their ability to predict on-the-job performance.   Personality Tests emerge as indispensable tools for cultural cohesion and optimal work dynamics. These assessments scrutinize personality traits pertinent to the job, offering a glimpse into the individual beyond the résumé. Evaluating cultural fit and potential work behaviours ensures that the chosen candidate aligns seamlessly with the organizational ethos.   Skills Tests dissect a candidate's job-related competencies, offering a tangible measure of their capabilities. Whether it's coding proficiency, language fluency, or hands-on expertise, these tests provide employers with a concrete understanding of a candidate's suitability for the role.   Situational Judgement Tests (SJTs) immerse candidates in simulated work situations, offering a practical glimpse into how candidates might navigate challenges and showcasing their decision-making processes in action.   Oakdale Consulting uses Employee Testing, Pre-Employment Testing | Criteria (https://lnkd.in/gis-aJ6) to assist its clients in making informed talent decisions. Partner with a recruiter who uses an assessment that helps organizations build diverse teams by making fair and objective talent decisions.
